This week included a trip to Yorkshire Sculpture Park to view work by Isamu Noguchi and Sophie Ryder amongst others. As always it was an impressive way to spend a day, even though it poured down most of the day and we were practically blown up the hill to the Longside Gallery.
Been a busy week in all, we have a competition of sorts at the moment, a local firm of solicitors is interested in commissioning a large piece of work for their entrance and have asked the third year student’s at college to put forward proposal boards and maquette’s. There will then be a display in their office and one piece will be chosen to be made up and exhibited. I have been working on a piece that would involve laser cutting metal, the final prize would pay for fabrication of the piece so I figured I could design a piece I would not usually be able to afford to make. It involves using words in many different languages and it’s been interesting doing the research, not sure if all my words are perfect though but hopefully I’m not saying anything too dreadful. Some of the other proposals are very good though so I don’t know what my chances are.
Also been researching for my elective work, so much of the work so far has been research and I’m looking forward to actually making something….. hopefully soon.
